One Catch: The football coaching game you play by ear.
One Catch makes you the head coach and hands you every snap: the formation, the play and your best guess at what the other sideline is calling. It was built for VoiceOver from the start, so every call and result is announced as it happens.

Who it’s for
One Catch is for football fans who would rather call the plays than watch them.
- Blind and low-vision fans: with VoiceOver on, every call, result and score is announced, and the whole game can be played by ear.
- Strategy and sim fans who want a whole franchise: the draft, free agency, trades and depth charts, season after season.
- Newcomers to football: a five-step Practice Drive and Coach Tips teach the game, and you can sim ahead whenever you like.
Features
Call every snap
On offense you pick a formation, then a play: inside and outside runs, draws, screens, quick, short, medium and deep passes. The defense sees your formation and never your play.
Fourth downs show the field goal distance and your kicker’s odds. Two-point tries, onside kicks, timeouts, the two-minute warning and overtime are all yours to manage.
Guess their play
On defense you see their formation, never their play, so you choose a front and make your guess: Run Stuff, Short Zone, Deep Zone, Man Press, Zone Blitz or the All-Out Blitz.
Guess right and you stuff them. Guess wrong with a blitz and you give up the big one.
Words first, picture optional
Every play is written out and announced. Turn on the replay with the TV button and each one is also redrawn as O’s and X’s on a chalkboard field, with the routes, the throw and the tackle.
One club in a 32-team league
You coach one of the Muck League’s 32 clubs through a 17-game season, a division race and a 14-team playoff for the Muck Bowl, the league championship. Play your games snap by snap, watch one unfold and take over at any moment, or sim ahead.
Build a dynasty
Players develop and retire, the seven-round draft brings rookies straight to your roster, and free agency fills the holes. Set your depth chart, survive injuries and swing trades before the deadline.
A league with some character
Every player has an 8-bit portrait, a hometown, a school and a story. Booth commentary calls the action, finished seasons go into the Trophy Room, and Game Center tracks your achievements and titles.
Accessibility
One Catch was built for VoiceOver from the first line of code.
- With VoiceOver on, every call, result and score is announced.
- Plays are spoken by VoiceOver itself, so they use your own voice and speaking rate.
- Press Situation at any time to hear the quarter, clock, score, down, distance and timeouts.
- A two-finger double-tap repeats the latest play, and every call button has actions for Situation, Hear the Clocks and Last Three Plays.
- With VoiceOver running, the play clock starts at a relaxed 60 seconds, and you can change it or turn the live clock off.
- The Practice Drive and Coach Tips walk you through your first calls. Text follows your Dynamic Type size, and the game works in portrait and landscape.
Privacy
One Catch collects no data. The game itself plays entirely offline.
- No ads, no analytics and no account. Game Center and the optional purchases go through Apple.
- Your league is saved on your device.
Common questions
Do I need VoiceOver to play?
No. You can play by looking at the screen. With VoiceOver on, every play is announced and the whole game can be played by ear.
How long is a season?
Your club plays 17 games in a 32-club league. The seven best teams in each conference then meet in a 14-team playoff. You can play every snap, watch a game unfold or sim ahead.
Are these real teams and players?
No. The clubs and players of the Muck League are fictional.
How much does One Catch cost?
Your first season is free: every game, the playoffs, the Trophy Room and the chalkboard replay. Dynasty Mode, a one-time $4.99 purchase, carries your league into the offseason, the draft, free agency and every season after. Or choose Dynasty Plus, a one-time $6.99 purchase that includes Dynasty Mode plus every commentary booth, team pack, player pack and playbook pack, the Rules Pack and Stadiums & Weather. It is not a subscription, and there are no ads. Both purchases work with Family Sharing, and optional tips unlock nothing.
Can I play offline?
Yes. Games never need the internet, and your league is saved on your device. Only Game Center and the App Store connect, and neither is needed to play.
